Hier ein Auszug über interessante Stockfish APP Verbesserungen die in nächster Zeit kommen sollen.
Ihr könnt dort gerne weitere Vorschläge machen, je mehr desto besser auch wenn schon jemand den selben Vorschlag gemacht haben sollte.
Wenn mehrere Benutzer sich das gleiche wünschen, dann wird das auch zuerst/früher gemacht.
Tord braucht auch ein paar Helfer (Grafikdesigner), also Leute die ihm helfen können der App einen neuen Look zu verpassen.

Some of these things will happen, some will not, and some may or may not. The problem with implementing every imaginable feature is that the user interface often ends up as a convoluted mess that looks ugly and is awkward to navigate.
Comments about some of the specific suggestions in your post:
Is it possible to get once a month the new Stockfish dev. and delete the old dev.?
Probably not a good idea. My development versions are often broken in various interesting ways, and contain lots of half finished stuff that is not ready for public consumption.
Tournament: Person1,2,3, Stockfish 1, 2, 3, 4 would be also nice.
I'm afraid this is of interest to such a limited number of users that it is probably better left out.
I would be also happy about an option to download the 3-4-5 TB, i know this is ~7GB but i have a 16GB IPAD.
It's not entirely possible that something like this will happen, but I think a problem with tablebases on a handheld device is not just the disk space, but also RAM. I could be wrong about this, as I haven't studied the technical details of the new syzygy tablebases, but I suspect they require a RAM cache that's a little too big for the current generation iOS devices. Applications with high RAM requirements have a bad effect on the user experience of the entire device, because they will force the OS to shut down apps running in the background. Apple therefore recommends not using more RAM than necessary.
It is therefore more likely that I will implement some sort of Internet-based tablebase access (I think Shredder already has this). This will make tablebase lookups too slow to be used during the search, but they can still be used at the root, and satisfy users with a desire for perfect knowledge about 5-piece endgames (or even 6-piece endgames, if I can afford the hosting costs, which is doubtful).
I miss the Multi-Variation-Mode 1-10 different moves.
This will probably happen, but only on the iPad (the iPhone screen is too small), and not before I do a complete redesign of the iPad GUI.
Can you make the gui / background in different colors?
For things like the move list, clocks and engine analysis? I prefer black text on white background for anything text-based myself, but perhaps I'll add an option for other colors.
Piece set (Fun, from Hiarcs) / color scheme, some more whould be nice.
PIece sets: I fully agree that a bigger selection of pieces that don't look like diagram pieces would have been nice, but I'm a programmer, not a graphical designer. I wouldn't be able to draw any nice-looking pieces myself. Users with artistic skills are welcome to contribute piece sets they want to see included in the program, but unfortunately this doesn't happen frequently. The current piece sets are all public domain, except the "Modern" piece set, which was contributed by Bryan Whitby.
Color schemes: I don't think I'll add any more, but I'm thinking about adding support for user-defined color schemes.
All games from world championships + pictures of the players.
I haven't checked, but I think you already have all games from all world championships up to and including Kasparov-Kramnik. I could include a separate database with only WC games, though. I haven't thought about pictures of the players before, but at least on the iPad, it would probably be possible to make the game preview window a little bigger and include photos of the players somewhere.
The option to play site lines in a game.
Variations in the game, you mean? I've been thinking about this for a long time. The problem is that I have hated the UI for this in every single chess program I have used, both on handheld devices and real computers. I have some vague ideas about a better way to handle this, but it requires more thought before I am ready to start implementing it. But yes, I hope I will be able to offer some kind of variation support some time in the future.
In the more near term, I am planning to offer some way to "jump back" to previous game states. When you open a game from a database and play through it, and make some alternative move somewhere in the game to explore other possibilities than the game continuation, the program will remember the state of the game before you made the move, and offer some way to revert to the old state when you have finished your exploration.
Move now doesn't work.
Seems to be a recently introduced bug. I don't know what causes it, but will of course investigate.
Play both, it would be a nice option to get the site which is on move automatically at the bottom. Play together, when a friend sits infront of me and i make a move, it would be good when the head and foot of the pieces switch.
Both would be easy, but there is the usual problem that this will increase the size of menus and number of options.
I miss the chess rules, how to move, special chess rules, would be good for chess beginner.
I don't think this belongs in the app; a dedicated "learn to play chess" app would be better for this purpose.
Kibitzer: Stockfish vs Stockfish. Also in edit position.
Engine vs engine games, you mean? Not entirely impossible. I don't understand what "also in edit position" means in this context.
Play in blind mode.
This is already there -- at least almost! Pick the "Invisible" piece set. You'll still see the board, but without the board, it would be hard to find a convenient way to input moves.
I'll address a few of your other suggestions in a separate post; it's getting late here.
Aber sehen bestimmt viel besser aus.
